“Teen Mom OG” star Farrah Abraham, who last week claimed that an Uber driver “almost raped’’ her, now acknowledges that he never tried to lay a hand on her, but instead was just “looking at her lecherously” and that “it could have escalated into a rape situation.”
Abraham now says, “I got into the car and the gentleman was looking me up and down.”
Abraham described how in January 2015 she ordered an Uber to pick her up from a hotel in Jericho, LI. She claims the driver asked her to walk down the road to his car instead of picking her up in front of the hotel, and then turned around to stare at her as she got in. She said she felt so uncomfortable that she immediately got out of the car.
“Something was wrong with him, like he was mentally disabled,” said Abraham.
Her then-boyfriend Simon Saran came out to talk to the driver and the two got into an argument.
The driver complained to Uber after the incident, and the company responded by banning Abraham. The car service said she appeared to have made the incident up.
So why did she say on her podcast that she was “almost raped”? “It could have escalated into a rape situation,” she explained.
